Renaissance Austin Hotel

Austin, Texas

Virgin rating

The hotel

When you first think of Austin, you think of the eclectic live-music scene no doubt, and you’re not wrong. However, if you’re looking for a more relaxed vibe then the Renaissance Austin is an ideal way to explore the cultivated side of the city, with countryside views from your room and an extra bit of peace whilst still being within easy reach of the city centre. Located next to the Arboretum, an upmarket outdoor shopping mall with plenty of restaurants and events on offer, you’ll be able to grab a few bargains without having to worry about carrying your bags miles back to the hotel! The hotel itself features both an outdoor and indoor pool, catering for visits all year round. And if those steps around the mall aren’t enough, the Peloton room is on hand to blow off some steam before you head to the Knotty Deck & Bar to relax on the outdoor patio with a hand crafted cocktail and farm-to-table Texan cuisine.

After a few bad experiences with the staff (especially the female front desk ladies who are very unfriendly), Matt is an absolute highlight! Thank you Matt for driving us around everywhere we wanted to go and recommending us the „things to do while in Austin“!

Matt is amazing! He is very welcoming and provides outstanding customer service. He is very informative and his genuine care for others shows with his smile. I look forward to returning to Renaissance in Austin to explore all the cool places near and around the area.

Excellent stay as always. Check In is quick. Was allowed to check in at 11 AM due to Marriott status. The food at the in house restaurant is good. The R Club is well stocked and has a good breakfast. easy to get Uber, etc. Has a Peleton room and a good gym but some construction going on in that area - you can still use it. Would stay here again… Read more
